Galactic Cosmic Radiation Induces Persistent Epigenome Alterations Relevant to Human Lung Cancer

Abstract Human deep space and planetary travel is limited by uncertainties regarding the health risks associated with exposure to galactic cosmic radiation (GCR), and in particular the high linear energy transfer (LET), heavy ion component. Here we assessed the impact of two high-LET ions 56Fe and 2...
